Exclusive: Obama Would 'Rather Be Really Good One-Term President' (Barf Alert)
ABC NEWS ^ | Jan. 25, 2010 | MARK MOONEY

President Obama, buffeted by criticism of his massive health care reform bill and election setbacks, said today he remained determined to tackle health care and other big problems despite the political dangers to his presidency.

I'd rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president," he told ABC's "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview today.

Obama sat down with Sawyer two days before he will deliver a State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress, and he acknowledged the political setbacks of his first year in office.

The speech this Wednesday comes at a time when the president's health care reform bill, the centerpiece of his domestic agenda, is stalled in Congress because the Senate lost its super-majority when Massachusetts elected Republican Scott Brown last week.

Interesting... he could hand over the reigns to hilary.  She has plenty of experience, is viewed by most as very capable, and she has laid low as sec of state.  No stink of stimulus, etc - she wasn't in the senate voting for it.

Hilary would do waaaaaaaay better against random GOp candidate in 2012 than he would.

I think Obama wants to be president of the world after this.

I didn't say she's the best choice, nor did I say I'd vote for her.

I just said she would do better than Obama against Repub in 2012.

And yes, in 2020 there probably will be a renewed Jeb movement and yes, he'd probably get the nomination.  As much as dynasties are disgusting, by then, bush2 will be a jolly old many that everyone treats like Reagan, and jeb will be the wisest party elder, perfectly safe prez or VP pick.

well I would laugh at it but according 3333 and BF, I'm a hypocrite if I don't support Obama.  So I guess I'll be voting for Obama and sending him more money for the next campaign....

Obama, probably one of the best presidents we've ever had...

Team Marxist Socialist all the way baby!!!!!

there are plenty of potential leaders.

unfortunately, the media annoints 2 or 3 people, and they just decide nobody else has a chance.  Kuscinich vs. ron paul in the 2008 election = america wins ;)

I have to disagree, there are people that are presented as leaders, but when the rubber hits the road they are not.

no, you went along with the "I'm a hypocrite" theme nicely.  So I guess to square it all up for you two, I need to support Obama.

I just don't get why Obama doesn't support Chavez if I'm doing this lol....  Oh wait, you guys think they're the best of buds so I guess it only matters what you two think.

I just dont see how you reconcile your admiration for Chavez one the one hand with your storm the bastille attitude towards pols who do the same thing here.

Pure propaganda?  LOL, the last post noted above, which I asked you to at least address was solely authored by me.  I don't do propaganda buddy.  You didn't even look at it did you? lol......

I watched the last clip you posted in that thread.  Or did you want me to address the article?

BTW - one of my closest friends' wife fled Venzuela and told me all about your boy Hugo.  He is a marxist thug POFS.

Well,Obama hasnt been a good president in his first year or a medicre one.He has been an utter,absolute failure in every way possible.From making the economy worse,to unemployment getting worse,to race relations getting worse,to the government getting much larger,to his takeovers of companies.I cant imagine a worse first year EVER by any president in history.
